If the system has a security password set then it will prompt the user to enter that password.

This invite is much like a normal WiFi signal notice found on any wireless device. How does the tablet transfer the call to the HDX or RealPresence Group Series using SmartPairing™? When in the same room as the HDX or RealPresence Group (manual or automatically paired) the user may transfer an active call from the tablet to the room system.
